We’re Just Here For The Bad Guys: The Dirties and the Emotional Persuasion of Violent Art - Film Cred
Found-footage-style film 'The Dirties' has a deeper message about society's relationship with violence in the media.
film-cred.com
Can’t believe it’s already been 5 years since this was published… One of my favorite pieces I’ve written, and definitely my most personal.

When it comes to murdering fishermen on the high seas, Donald is lawless and careless, but when it comes to finding excuses not to feed Americans, he's a precise bureaucrat, obsessed with following the law.

To be clear, using ChatGPT and Gen AI is fraud. Imagine five years ago if you told a professor or employer you don’t know how to do your work so the computer did it for you 😒

don't have a lot left to say about the Nazi tat discourse other than the general observation that when some say they oppose "moralism" they mean they oppose self-indulgent or otherwise unprincipled appeals to faux-morality and when others say they oppose "moralism" they mean they oppose morals

The questions it raises are all specifically premised on the clear and immutable fact, not present at all in this framing, that this "move" is illegal, is not legal, is criminal, is a crime.
The Pentagon accepted a $130 million anonymous donation to pay active-duty troops during the government shutdown, a move that raises questions about private funding.
The contribution will only cover a small amount of the funds needed to pay the troops.

Pentagon to use $130 million anonymous donation to help pay troops
The amount is less than a day’s worth of salaries. Fiscal policy experts say the move also raises legal questions.

I am consistently baffled by people who claim to be anti-fascist but they use AI avatars or banner art.
Generative AI is a fascist tool. Period. Look at who's paying for it. Look at who's pushing it. Look at what they want you to use it for. It is anti-human.
Do fucking better.

Graduate seminar did a deep dive on Thomas Paine’s Common Sense yesterday. At the line, “in America the law is king,” they (14 students from 6 countries) burst out laughing. I've been doing this for 35 years and this is the first time that was a laugh line.

The most important thing in writing is to finish. A finished thing can be fixed. A finished thing can be published. A finished thing can be made into a movie.
An unfinished thing is just a dream. And dreams fade if you don't hold on tight enough.
So finish the thing.
